Calligraphy again.

I got quite obsessed with calligraphy yesterday. It got me thinking though - when does calligraphy become 'hand drawn type'? Know what I mean?This writing is so freestyle and wacky(which I love) but is it calligraphy or hand drawn type? Maybe it's always called calligraphy if you are writing an address in an envelope ? I seriously would love to know how to do this. I have pretty good drawing skills and a good eye - I wonder how long it would take me to learn how to do this - any of you tried? This fabulous work is by Queen Quill - amazing talent.

Collecting and creating have taught me to trust the art that moves me and question the fads that don't. This blog reflects the diverse design influences behind my work and all the things I love.
